Maximize the return on your study abroad investment by learning how to use your experience to stand out from other students.

Understand the value of the intercultural skill-set you acquire overseas, and how to use it upon return.

Because integrated-study programs like University Study programs provide less on-site support than other study abroad program models, Global Identity is offered at no additional cost (regular $200 tuition is waived for students on this program). Global Identity gives you the opportunity to work individually with a trained cultural mentor, helping you understand and articulate the skills you’re developing during your time abroad. Registration instructions will be emailed out via the Learning Abroad Center, or you can contact Jessica Hartnett for additional information.
